Understanding Microgreens
Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are harvested just after the first leaves have developed. They're essentially the "baby versions" of plants like broccoli, kale, radish, and sunflower, harvested at 7-14 days when they're 1-3 inches tall.
Don't confuse them with sprouts! Microgreens are grown in soil or soil-like mediums, exposed to light, and have developed their first true leaves. This makes them more flavorful, nutritious, and safer to eat than raw sprouts.
Quick Facts:
- • Harvested 7-14 days after germination
- • 1-3 inches tall when ready
- • Grown in soil with exposure to light
- • More concentrated nutrients than mature plants
